This piece stands out for its sense of depth and energy which makes it feel alive. Crafted by Tim Steel from New Zealand pounamu, this design is inspired by ancestry and New Zealand's natural beauty. The manaia, a mythological guardian in Maori culture symbolises balance and protection, and the koru depicts new beginnings and growth. The patterns of the stone flow around the piece from deep green to light golden hues curving through the edge of the koru.
